Friendly discussions and planning of actions go here.

Now that we've seen what happens when I post when sleep deprived, goblin warblade okay? Unless there is another small race that would fit better, I want to go the twf route using tigerclaw maneuvers.

Works just fine, potentially.  I'm interested to see what a goblin Paragon looks like.

A quick search brought up a few, but I think ill use that one. The rest seem lack luster. Base class level then paragon levels correct?

Any order you like.  You may find "base class first" most beneficial.

Post by: geniussavant on September 08, 2012, 10:29:06 AM
That's what I thought. With the way you have paragon classes stacking for maneuvers, it looks to be the best option. How do they factor into my initiator level?
Title: Re: OOC chit-chat
Post by: InnaBinder on September 08, 2012, 10:45:13 AM
As specified in the interest check thread:
Quote
That would depend upon the order in which you took them; if you took all 3 levels of Human (edit: or Goblin) Paragon 1st, you'd only have 1 initiator level.

If you took warblade at 1st level, you'd have a total IL of 4, with 1st level maneuvers and one 1st level stance, 1 2nd level stance.

If you took warblade at 2nd level, you'd have a total IL of 3, with no 2nd level stance, and one less maneuver known.

If you took warblade at 3rd level, you'd have a total IL if 2, with no 2nd level stance, and one less maneuver known AND one less maneuver readied.

Silly question. I was planning on using the Wildshape Ranger from Unearthed Arcana (also on the SRD). In what order would I receive the abilities? I feel that waiting until 14th level to get Fast Movement as a barbarian seems off.

Paragon levels do not add to Ranger levels in any way not specifically listed in their text.

You'll get the 2nd level Ranger benefits available to the Wildshape variant, which as you know, don't include a combat style.  Other than that, I'm not sure what you're asking.

At Ranger 2, would I get Wildshape 1/day, or the fast movement?

Because I'm not aware of it being reproduced in any sources on our allowed list, I'm saying no.  If I'm misremembering this and it was reproduced in one of the sources on the allowed list, you may use it.
Title: Re: OOC chit-chat
Post by: phaedrusxy on September 08, 2012, 11:06:12 PM
Nah, it's not reproduced anywhere else. I realize now that Practiced Spellcaster likely isn't allowed either, as it was from the Completes also, wasn't it?

OK, a couple more questions on psicrystals:
1) How do you replace one if it is destroyed?
2) Do they get feats?

A new one, identical in every mechanical way to the previous one, automatically poofs into existence 24 hours after the previous one becomes a fine white mist.

They get feats - one for every 3 HD - if you can advance them beyond their automatic advancement from your character's level-ups.  If their only method of advancement is the fact that your character gained levels, they don't get feats.

I'm not sure what you mean by the second part. Their hit dice line says "as master", and as far as I know there is no other way for them to gain hit dice. So I guess the answer is "no, they don't get feats", based on what you said.

No XP (or other) cost when they are destroyed and poof back into existence?

I was not discounting the possibility that you had found some other method of advancing their HD (I haven't, but that doesn't mean someone didn't), and trying to be thorough in my answer with that in mind.

No XP or other cost unless one is involved in making it mechanically identical to its predecessor; in most cases, there should be none involved.

How would you like to handle the changes to goblin paragon then to bring it in line with the jungle goblin? Using it as is would remove a lot of the penalties associated with jungle goblin otherwise.

Edit: Here (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=443987) is a prelim character sheet. Would the group mind making comments on it. I haven't made a martial adept before, so I wouldn't mind the help.

Existing animal and plant life? What about sentient species? Climate? Any odd "planar traits" that are known about?

Did I mention that I love jungle goblins? Best fluff write-up for any race in D&D. :P

There is evidence of Raptoran and Killoren habitation, in addition to a small, bearded race that may be Dwarves or Gnomes who are predominantly subterranean.  Ruins sighted are of a scale to indicate at least one-time presence of Giants of some sort.
So it is an inhabited world. Hmm... Was any contact initiated with the "natives" prior to (or during) our journey? Or did we avoid that so as to not give away our destination to our "destroyer"?

And if we're running away from a pair of frozen worlds, why go to one that's also cold? How about a nice beach world?  :cool

Rather than Hide/Move Silently, Jungle Goblin Paragons get the listed 1st-level bonuses to Jump and Sense Motive, and add +2 to Climb (getting a grand total of +10 on Climb).

Invert what's listed regarding Low-Light Vision and Darkvision (can see 30' farther a non-Paragon Jungle Goblin in Low Light, and has Darkvision).

Fair enough?

No contact has been initiated so far as anyone knows, presumably to avoid detection from the destroyer.

While consistently chilly, Osa's cold does not appear to be unnatural, nor does it appear to weaken the inhabitants.  All discussions about warmer climates during the planning phase were also given a prelude of "It was nice when I visited there.  . ." or similar, which made them less desirable if hiding was the goal.

Sunday I rebuilt about half of the front porch on a rental property we have. Some of the support beams had been eaten away by termites, so I had to replace those too. My back is sore as hell, and I'm still sneezing and coughing up dust. It's over 100 years old. I can't even describe how nasty it is having to do any work on that thing. SO much dust...

Well, no one's made a human so far!  :D

The issue isn't picking a race so much as picking a base class/build.

It also doesn't help that I keep thinking of things that would be hilariously suboptimal, or a melee build because we totally need another one of those.   :p

How about a Factotum? I'm not sure what racial paragon you'd possibly use with that, though. You might have to 'brew one. :P

Yeah, I know what you mean... Hmm... you know, a Human Paragon/Cleric/Master of Shrouds might work well. Human Paragon is one of the better dips for entry into MoS at ECL 4, IMO, and Libris Mortis is on the allowed book list. Fluffwise, you could be calling the ghosts/spirits of your fallen ancestors for help, since you know... there are so many of them now, what with everyone else being dead... They're probably pretty pissed off too, and have a vested interest in seeing the last of their lineage doesn't perish like they did. :P

No problem. It is SirPercival's template.

Wand of Lesser Vigor? :P We can all pitch in for that, if we can work out that we know each other and have reason to before the game starts... Or we could save some of our starting cash to (collectively) buy one after the game starts, too.

So... I take it partially charged wands/dorjes aren't allowed? IIRC, the MiC explicitly says they are, so I assumed they were... since the MiC is allowed. I had a dorje of Detect Psionics down with 25 charges on my sheet as well.

I'll allow it.

EDIT: To clarify, you may have partially charged items on your character sheet, indicative of items you've had for a while and are in the process of using up.  Remember that your destination is likely to be either without ready access to Ye Olde Magicke Shoppe, at least in the short-term, and so partially charged items will be extremely unlikely as purchase-ready items

So, what time of day does it seem to be?

I just wonder if we should start building shelters now, or wait to see if we want to move a bit closer to a water source first, since I think that will be our biggest concern.

As for how many you have, here is the breakdown: 5 + 1/2 your level. These action points do not renew each day; only when you level up, losing any unspent action points from the previous level.

Personally, I really want to send my character with you guys to go check out the river. But in character, I'm not sure if he'd be more inclined to do that, or stay here and "ensure calm" (which is basically schmooze the people further, so if there are elections later or something, he'll be favored :P ). I guess "leading by example" could work to win some "votes", too, if he makes it well-known that he personally went to check out the new site to insure its safety.  :D

geniussavant, assuming I'm placing your spot and climb checks correctly in sequence (the reason I asked about post number in the chapter thread), you climbed the tree successfully and got a basic look around the open area of the clearing, with its slight incline on one side.  Other details of the area were provided by Saul's description.

So... I just realized that I'm missing a feat... I put down a flaw, but never chose a feat to gain from it... I'll think about it, and get something up later. It will likely be Overchannel, but I'm still debating slightly. Psionic Body for an extra 10 hit points sounds pretty good, too... but that would put me at having the highest hit points in the party, which seems a bit odd...

Alternatively, I could go for a non-psionic feat. Anyone got a good suggestion?

edit: I wound up going with Improved Initiative, as I read in a discussion that Metapsionic feats don't give you bonus hit points for Psionic Body, and you can never have too much of an initiative bonus... I also don't expect to actually use Overchannel much/at all till level 6+, so I'll just take it then.

So a couple of questions:
1) Would you rule that Metapsionic feats count as Psionic feats for the purposes of Psionic Body?
2) Do you allow retraining, as I think that's in the list of allowed sourcebooks?

If the answer to both of those is yes, I might go with Psionic Body still.

1. Metapsionic feats count as Psionic feats as far as this campaign is concerned.
2. Yes, provided it's not abused and is actually sought in-game instead of as a metagame concern.

I meant C.  Who said anything about water heaters in the US, given a fantasy world?  It's bathwater - as if over an actual fire - in that it's hot, uncomfortable to touch/drink, but not hot enough to cause serious burns in most cases (it's a lower temperature than most restaurants I know serve their coffee, for instance).  It was illustrated that the wildlife chooses not to drink it straight from the stream earlier, remember.

Citation needed.  Every restaurant I know of serves it at 150 -170 plus.  The location of the burns on her body and the age of the woman in the lawsuit were seen as contributing factors to the nature of her injuries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants) - "McDonald's policy today is to serve coffee between 80–90 °C (176–194 °F),[22] relying on more sternly-worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.[22][23] The Specialty Coffee Association supports improved packaging methods rather than lowering the temperature at which coffee is served.[21] The association has successfully aided the defense of subsequent coffee burn cases.[24]

Judge Frank Easterbrook wrote a unanimous 7th Circuit Court of Appeals opinion affirming dismissal of a similar lawsuit against coffeemaker manufacturer Bunn-O-Matic. The opinion noted that hot coffee (179 °F (82 °C) in this case) is not "unreasonably dangerous"."

http://www.ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=71 (http://www.ncausa.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=71) - "Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 - 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction.  Colder water will result in flat, underextracted coffee while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee."

As we begin to explore underground tunnels, I thought I'd put it to a vote: Do folks want me to continue to use Metric in general descriptions, switching to English/Standard/Whatever you choose to call it in combat situations, or should I drop the Metric altogether?  Given an international group that includes at least one person of a scientific bent, I initially considered Metric to be easier to grok, but I don't want the game to bog down in conversions.

The voices in the other room cry out in surprise, followed immediately by "LOOK OUT!" in a strangely accented Dwarven.  Three very short dark-skinned Dwarves appear from around the corner, dressed in sleeveless studded leather armor with straps hanging down below the waist to the knees to form a skirt of sorts over a coarse tan fabric; their shoes are an odd design that is essentially a closed-toe leather sandal, with leather strips wrapped around and around the ankle and shin to the knee, then buckled to metallic knee pads. 

The one the furthest to your left has his armor dyed dark green, has a stone-worker's hammer at hanging at his right side, and holds a blowgun up but not to his mouth.  His hair is blonde and thinning, worn long and braided behind him, with a short cropped beard that leaves his cheeks bare. The one furthest to your right's armor is dyed a deep brick red, with his own hammer at his side and blowgun ready.  His hair is curly, short, and red, and his beard bushier than the one to the left, though his cheeks are also bare.  The one in the middle is nearly white-haired, with hints of blonde still in his loose, stringy hair, which he has slicked back with some sort of animal fat.   His face is bare but for a fu-manchu mustache which he both braids and ties beneath his chin.  He also has a hammer at his side, but in his hand he holds an ornate stone spike, made of mithral.  There's obviously a design to it, but his grip on it obscures the details.

He practically brandishes the spike toward Saul as he says in that oddly accented Draconic "What manner creature are you?  Raptoran spy?  Killoren sympathizer?  Dragon's slave?  What gives you right of passage in our tunnels?" (DC 17 Sense Motive check is appropriate)

I guess any confusion is coming from the bolded parts. I assumed they are speaking Draconic...

Until I call for a Survival check - or a Jump, or a Climb, or similar - consider it safe to assume that it's not vital that you succeed at that check.

Meh.  I make no judgment on them; this is just how I do it.  I find it especially punitive to single out folks in PbP for slower advancement, given a typical rate of something like 1 character level/year.  "Sorry, Bob.  You'll just have to level up in 2 more months. . . probably. . . unless your character slips and falls from the rampart again."  Not my style.

My old rl Dm would only award xp if you "actively worked towards the success of a goal." So if combat happened, and you happen to only attack 2 of a group of 8 monsters, you only got xp for the two you attacked, not all 8.

So... I didn't really pay close attention to the racial language choices for having a high Int for Kalashtar when making him... but now that I look, I see that draconic isn't listed, and that he actually has more languages known than there are bonus languages listed for his race. :P So... can I just pick some from outside the list to fill in what he knows? They could represent the ones he picked up after leaving his homeland (and when his Int increased).

I went ahead and chose Rierdran as one of them, since that is on his bonus list, and I think I'll choose Giant for the other. So the languages learned outside his normal racial bonus list would be elven, draconic, and giant.

I kind of debated that in my head... I think we shouldn't be, as our job is to draw the raptorans away from the hidden people. So in fact we should probably be relatively far away from the invisible group, so they don't get caught in the crossfire, or inadvertently detected during the fight (or after... if we all die... Not that we'd care as players, as the game would be over hah, but in the name of good RPing, I think our characters might :P).

Now I don't mean like a mile away. Just far enough that they won't be in danger during the fight, or easily detected. So maybe a (few?) hundred feet or something.

What do you guys think?

I cast the PERSONAL spell on myself because that is the only valid target.  You speak a language that I don't understand.  The only way that I can understand it while under the effects of the spell is if I touch you while you're talking.  This has no effect on you whatsoever, but now I can understand you because that's what the spell does.  I cannot in any way shape or form cast the spell on another person or allow anyone else to understand languages using the spell without actively translating it for them.

Let me put this question another way: Whom are you going to translate?  You share a common language with everyone except (possibly) the xenophobic Raptorans whom you haven't met yet.  If it's your intention to translate their speech (assuming it becomes necessary), YOU'LL HAVE TO TOUCH ONE OF THEM BEFORE ANY OF THEM KNOW THE INTENT BEHIND YOUR TOUCH.

The reason I brought this up in the first place is I've seen several people in different campaigns who wanted to use Comprehend Languages as some sort of "listening in" ability, in circumstances where it simply won't function the way they wanted it to (because the way they wanted it to work is called the Tongues spell).

For future reference, such rules-discussions do have their own thread here.

I'm quite aware I have to touch them, I'm casting it just in case.  I know what I'm doing, trust me. 

Also, this isn't haggling over rulings, this is about how "touch spell" means a spell with a range of touch.  This has a range of personal.  It isn't a touch spell, it's a spell that requires me to touch someone to benefit from the effects of.  I minored in English, the difference is important.   :P

You can do anything that the charm would normally allow; if the creature gets sight of you, it gets a new save from realizing its ideas are potentially being influenced.

Yes, a creature who succeeds on a saving throw knows it, barring weird circumstances.

Lazaro - 20
Makala - 18
Red/Black - 17
Saul - 13
Milo - 10
Darius - 9
Teal - 8
Dakekk - observing

Consider the invisible people to spend this round readying their actions.  They may go in Round 2, if necessary, provided one of you folks chooses to call on them.  At that point, they go on that party member's initiative.

As I told phaedrusxy, in my game your actions are all but entirely malleable until your turn in the Initiative order comes up.  Seasoned adventurers like yourselves are used to adjusting on the fly based on the whacky things that your allies do and that happen to you and your allies in the chaos of combat.

Consider this the rule going forward.   :)

EDIT: On transparency - If you have bonuses for or penalties against a particular type of spell - like mind-affecting, or a particular energy type - those bonuses carry over regardless of whether it's a spell or a Psionic power.  Fire is hot regardless of its source, so your ability to deal with fire well or badly doesn't care about the source.  However, Spellcraft/Psicraft and UMD/UPD are separate skills, because your knowledge of how one works specifically does not translate in the same way across those boundaries.  Let me know if this makes sense or not from your perspective.

Mom back in the hospital tonight with a probable need for gall bladder surgery.  Posting will be slow at best.

Thanks.  The good news is, it's not her gall bladder.  The bad news is, it's not her gall bladder.

"Skinny" may be a fairly broad term for it, what with the stereotypical shape of a gamer.   :p

xaotiq1: You labeled your roll "listen" and called it "psicraft" in the link, which goes to a 'page not found.'  Could you clear that up?

Darius (the character, not Darius the player) is up.

I haven't forgotten you guys.  I got snowed under, and then apparently I'm a little retarded as far as remembering turn order.   :banghead

Should be updated by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Depends if Makala chooses to give the signal for the hidden masses to darken the sky with crossbow bolts, in part.

"Those wounded should seek shelter, while those capable of fighting should do so NOW!"
Am I right in reading this as the general order to attack for the masses?

Combat is over.  The number of crossbows with proficient - though not 'highly skilled' users - you folks elected to use in the defense presented overwhelming odds for your side once you gave the signal to unleash hell; rolling all the attacks and damage became a formality (I could go through it if y'all feel cheated, as that was never my intent). 

As for whether more Raptorans are on the way. . . you'll find out. :smirk

Would have been even more if having a battalion of crossbowmen at your disposal didn't constitute a bit of a situation neutralizer.  *cough*

Consider the corpse problem done.

And guys, we need to make decisions here. The way we are right now, we will spend more time trying to choose something over doing anything useful...

Kind of... I guess I share some of the hotbloodedness of shifters in general... Being like this in RL actually helps me with roleplaying Makala :P
